    If anyone wants a great chill out game I would recommend Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord where you basically tool around and unsuccessfully try to get women to marry you, which is also what I do but I’d like to think I’m pretty chill

    Ipek Yavuz has passed away - one of the married duo behind the Mount & Blade games. One of the indie OGs, for sure. I'll always remember their photos posted on TW forums, of her husband in pyjamas with his feet on the desk and her smiling. I thought it was so cool two people could just make a game.

    When gunshots cut through the sound of pounding hooves, the romance of the Middle Ages does not vanish, but only grows thicker, like smoke. Chivalry does not disappear, either. It simply has a much shorter lifespan.

    Unlike the majority, I prefer WFAS over Warband which really is an unpopular opinion. I'm a man of principle though and so many things about this title really grip my interest in this game. 1. The Factions The factions are my favourite and very historically significant for Europe. The Muscovites, Cossacks, Swedes, Khanate, ect are exceptionally well written and represented with historical accuracy. 2. The Difficulty WFAS is HARD in comparison to M&B and M&B: Warband.

    When adding period appropriate firearms to a base game that never needed them to thrive, the result is only a small boost to the overall experience. Fortunately, With Fire & Sword brings more than just muskets it introduces a new landmass, factions, and weapons. Still, these additions don’t fundamentally change the Mount & Blade formula. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, since the addictive core mechanics remain intact. The Mount & Blade series has never been known for storytelling or…

    This is part of why I enjoy checking these games, they come from a very different "canon" and pool of references. It takes a while, but you can see the lineages. And it's not just Chinese-only stuff. Mount & Blade is a Turkish game, but had far more influence in Chinese RPGs than anywhere else.

    Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is the weird middle child of the franchise – not quite a sequel, not quite a mod, but still better than most of the junk that tries to do what it does. If you like muskets, cavalry charges, and dying instantly because some peasant sniped your horse with a flintlock pistol, you’re in the right place. This one ditches the medieval sandbox of Warband and drops you into a gritty 17th-century Eastern Europe setting with real historical factions. It’s grim, it’s…

I then called to arms all my valorous brothers, to aid me in an epic, daring campaign aimed to conquer both the Tsardom and the Khanate's lands. Most of the Lords who joined stayed only for a short time, evidently preoccupied with other matters within our realm. Only a couple of faithful subjects remained with me throughout the whole ordeal.

    Mount and Blade- Fire and Sword feels close to Warband in gameplay but takes it in a different direction. The time period moves forward to the age of gunpowder, so battles play out differently. You still build armies, trade, and fight for power, but firearms change the rhythm of combat quite a bit. Compared to Warband, it feels less balanced. The muskets and pistols are a nice change, but early on they are slow, inaccurate, and clunky to use. It takes longer to find the same kind of flow…

    ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆ (4) / 5 With Fire & Sword often gets overlooked, but it’s actually a pretty cool take on the Mount & Blade formula. Set in 17th-century Eastern Europe, it brings a fresh historical setting and adds firearms into the mix, which really changes up the combat. It’s a bit buggier than Warband, sure, but it also introduces some solid improvements, like enhanced siege mechanics, a unique map based on real locations, and more story-driven content.
